3 Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: consider aql_tx_pending when checking airtime
6 When queueing packets for a station, deficit only gets added once the packets
7 have been transmitted, which could be much later. During that time, a lot of
8 temporary unfairness could happen, which could lead to bursty behavior.
9 Fix this by subtracting the aql_tx_pending when checking the deficit in tx
